All You Did was Save my Life

Time

Warning: Swearing

            One dragon could do a lot apparently. Balthazar had returned with two pieces of news: first, the Mother of Monsters had been released from Purgatory; second, Raphael was up to something. They didn't know what it was yet, but Balthazar had told them it was definitely something.

            "Great, now we have to deal with Queen Bitch and a psychotic angel," Dean ground out. Sam nodded slightly, but didn't say anything. He could feel a headache building behind his eyes and he really didn't want to deal with anything today.

            "Hey Samsqwatch! Up, up, up!" Gabriel said, bursting in the door. Sam squeezed his eyes shut against the noise.

            "What d'you want Gabe?" he asked.

            "You and me are going on a little field trip," Gabe said, "Let's go!"

            "What about Jesse and Henry?" Dean called after him.

            "They're coming too!" Gabe shouted back. Sam looked over at his brother, but Dean only shrugged.

            "Looks like you may be forgiven," Dean said.

            "Looks like," Sam said, standing and walking out the door. Gabe was standing next to one of the many cars on Bobby's lot as he strapped the boys into their seats.

            "Where are we going?" Sam asked.

            "Bobby needs some books from the library and Jesse's been asking to help him all day so I said we'd take the boys to get them," Gabriel replied.

            "Sounds good," Sam nodded. Gabe closed the door and went to get in the car himself, but Sam stepped in front of him.

            "So, does this mean we're good?" he asked.

            "Sam..." Gabe said, "I don't want to do this right now."

            "Do what? I just want to know," Sam said, "You came bouncing in there... Does this mean we're good?"

            "I still need some time," Gabriel said, "But we're getting there."

            Sam smiled widely at him. "That's all I want," he said.

            Gabriel gave him a small smile and Sam finally moved, allowing the archangel to climb into the car. Sam went around the driver's side and they set off.

            "Why are we driving?" Sam asked, "Couldn't you have just angel poofed there?"

            "Henry isn't a fan of flying yet," Gabriel said, "He protested very loudly the only time I've ever done it while holding him so I figured it would be better to wait until he's old enough to understand what's going on."

            "Makes sense," Sam said, glancing back at the boys. "You excited to be helping Uncle Bobby?"

            "Yes!" Jesse exclaimed and Sam chuckled.

            "So, what are these books we're getting?" Sam asked.

            "Some old books that may or may not have information on Eve," Gabriel said.

            "Like how to defeat her?"

            "Maybe," Gabriel replied, "If we can do that then we can focus on whatever Raphael is up to."

            "Yeah, it's just one thing after another," Sam sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose as his head continued to pound.

            "You alright?" Gabe asked.

            "Fine, just a headache," Sam said. Gabriel reached over and pressed a finger to Sam's head.

            "How's it now?" Gabriel asked.

            "No change," Sam told him and Gabriel furrowed his brow.

            "That makes no sense..." he murmured to himself.

            They finally arrived at the library and, after much hunting, they found the books they were looking for.

            "I'll drive," Gabriel said, "You could barely keep your eyes open in there."

            "Do you know how to drive?" Sam asked.

            "Please, if Dean-o can do it then so can I," Gabriel said sarcastically, "Besides, I can't be any worse than you would be if you end up closing your eyes while we're on the road."

            Sam wanted to argue, but his headache was so bad by now that he just couldn't be bothered to do so. He tossed the keys to Gabe and then climbed into the passenger side. Sam closed his eyes and tried to block out the sounds of the two babbling boys in the back.

            They were about half way back to Bobby's when the pain spiked and Sam groaned.

            "Sam?"

            Sam looked over to Gabe, only... Gabriel was there anymore. Instead, Lucifer sat in his place. Sam's eyes widened in fear and horror.

            "Hiya Sammy," Lucifer grinned, "You miss me?"

            Sam scrambled for the door handle, but wasn't able to find it. Gabe and the boys were gone. He was surrounded by fire, Lucifer next to him, and he couldn't escape.

Alright, so over the next several chapters I'm getting back to what this story was originally about. Less following of actual plot lines and more focusing on Sam, Dean, and the others. While I still will be talking about those things (It's a little hard to ignore Purgatory, Leviathans, and the angels falling), I won't be following the way things go in the show.

I also didn't want to drag out Sam and Gabe fighting forever so in the next couple chapters you'll see things looking up for them too!

Thank you so much to everyone who has read! Let me know what you think!
